Firoz Mondal @ Firoj v. State Of West Bengal

June 26, 2025 18 ARDR (Rejected) CRM (DB) 1127 of 2025 In Re : An Application for bail under Section 483 of Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, filed in connection with Haringhata Police Station Case No. 236 of 2024 dated 11/5/2024 under Sections 498A/304B/34 of the Indian Penal Code and Sections 3/4 of the Dowry Prohibition Act.

And In Re :

Firoj Mondal @ Firoj ... Petitioner.

Adv. Sumanta Das, Adv. Avilash Tripathi, Adv. Suman Biswas ... for the petitioner.

Adv. Md. Adil Badr, Adv. Atulya Sinha, ...for the State.

The petitioner is in custody for more than a year and prays for bail.

Opposing the prayer, learned counsel for the State submits that one of the accused is still absconding for which the trial cannot be proceeded with.

I have considered the material on record.

The petitioner is the husband of the victim who expired within one year and eight months of her marriage in her matrimonial home. The petitioner who was residing with the victim at the matrimonial home owes an explanation to the circumstance which led to her death. In view of the incriminating material against the petitioner, prayer for bail is rejected at this stage. Learned trial Court is directed to consider splitting up of trial insofar as the absconding accused is concerned and expedite the trial without granting any unnecessary adjournment to either of the parties.

The application for bail is disposed of.

Case Diary be returned.

Urgent certified website copy of this order, if applied for, be supplied to the parties upon compliance with all requisite formalities.
